Princess Royal Receives Recognition Following Heartfelt Visit to Riding Therapy Centre
Princess Anne has been honoured with a new title following the completion of a significant royal duty entrusted to her by King Charles.
The Princess Royal, who serves as President of the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA), visited the Helen Atkin Group in Buxton—an organisation offering life-changing riding therapy for disabled children and adults. The visit marked a special occasion, celebrating 40 years of Princess Anne’s dedicated service as RDA President.
A heartwarming video shared by the Palace captured Anne meeting volunteers and riders, a moment made even more meaningful given her lifelong passion for horse riding.
“During the visit, The Princess enjoyed a riding display set to music from The Greatest Showman, presented rosettes to riders, and awarded dedicated volunteers with long-service certificates. Even the beloved horses and ponies—Cracker, Big Daisy, and Floyd—were recognised with rosettes!” the statement read.
Royal fans were quick to praise Princess Anne’s dedication and resilience, with one well-wisher calling her the “gem of the royal family.” Another admirer commented, “So beautiful and very heartwarming! The Princess Royal is truly a gem.”
Princess Anne’s latest recognition highlights her unwavering commitment to causes close to her heart, further cementing her status as one of the most admired members of the royal family.
